Hey all!
I've been lurking around here consistently for about a year now, so I finally decided to make it official and create an account. I really enjoy the process of critique and review by one's peers that this site employs, and I can not wait to contribute to it. I am admittedly baffled by the IRC chat and the various customs and idiosyncrasies of forum etiquette, but I hope to learn a lot being part of the SCP community and quickly become a productive member. Thanks for the chance, and I look forward to all that the future has in store!

Hello how are you is that avatar of yours a TWEWY reference if so thumbs up yo

It's always cool to have a long-time lurker join. Nice to have you here! So far as writing for the site goes, you should definitely make a sandbox page for your stuff. You can brainstorm, try out wikidot coding, and store ideas there. Any finalized drafts you come up with should be shown to the IRC chat and/or the drafts forums before a mainsite post.

Basic forum etiquette can be summed up in the following:

Don't spam.

Post in the right place.

Don't be a jerk (but that goes without saying d:)

You and other site members might see staff (mostly me, lol) moving things around, but that isn't so much because RULES ARE RULES as it is making things more organized for usability. People looking to help with draft review aren't going to look for drafts in the General forum, for example. And a person making multiple threads for the same draft can get replies confused (and that can get annoying for reviewers who might end up giving the same advice if the replies are scattered across multiple places).

Anyway, if you've ever got any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to PM me or another staff member.
